Monroe County Sheriffs Department

This last weekend one of my close friends car got broken into. They broke his glove box, tore up his dash, and stole; the faceplate off of his head unit, a compressor, and his radar detector. So i called the police. This was the 4th time this year that this had happened and the second time we've called the police. Because of these facts the boys thought it was a waist of time and only talked to the sheriff to humor me. Just like the time before he said that there wasn't much he could do and then he explained why and I was blown away!
There are only 3 night time sheriffs for this entire county (that's over three hundred and ninety square miles). He then told us that they would try to patrol that area once a night. He also suggested that we put together a petition for camera installation and a security patrol around the hours of the break-ins.
Well we thanked him for all of his help and he was on his merry way. Since it was hard to see in the dark anyway we all decided to go back into the apartment and asses the damage in the morning. We ended up staying up for awhile longer and at around 3am i got a call from a blocked name and number. I answered it and it was the sheriffs office letting us know that they thought they caught the guys, they just needed us to verify his belongings.
So we met them at a gas station, not even a block from the apartment, where they had pulled the car over. Once there we learned that a patrol car had seen a guy get out of the car and then immediately get back in it once he saw the police car. Since that seemed a little off and since our report the officer ran there plates. Luckily they needed new tags, and thee officer had a reason to pull them over. It all went down hill for them from there.
They pulled so much stuff from that car! I mean everything from a samurai sword to a full keyboard and so many radar detectors and ipods. Once they got them in a room they also found out that they had dumped even more stuff in a Dumpster. Needless to say i can not wait to see them at their trial!!!
